Unique Edition of 2000 Pieces to be sold exclusively through Panerai boutiques worldwide.

H-factory offer this beauty for us , not a super rep , but truly a beauty .
The issues of the HF Pams 360 to me are :
1. Fonts on dial are too thin , the issue is on all HF rep PAMs .
2. Poor CG , not perfect match with case , lever tip is bad also .
3. The Gen lume is similar to PreA models , cut the numbers on dial first and then filled the lume . Gen is almost flat , but rep is closer to sausage .

Good :
1. Nice tobacco dial ,
2. Almost perfect Pre V gold hands , the best hand set as I know .
3. Perfect lume effect , maybe better than Gen. I think .

Any way , I believe lots PAM fans will keep one , since it's well made already , and fit it with rep Asso strap , all looks perfect already !

Here're some pics about mine . Did I done anything on it ? Of course !
Swap the CG to Noob version ......that's all .
Let the pics tell the story ~~

Hi Goin
One of my preferred PAMs
I agree it is not perfect but is really beautiful and for me a Super rep.
Awesome the Modd with Noob CG. Now yours one is a "Reference rep" ...LOL

Congrats

Goin, did you reshape the Noob CG or just snapped it onto the caseset? BTW, I have mine on a rep asso too. It looks great!

Love the 390!

I also put mine into a noob case with the better cg
Personally could not get the noob cg to fit the h factory case so had to swap case along with cg

 

[goin6633]

In fact .............. I don't remember I swap the CG alone or replace whole case set .
LOL
Sorry guys !

Seems like everyone has a problem with H fac CG's. I also want to swap mine to noob cg but not sure if it's worth the effort...

That could help
Seeing the pics the bezel seems a H maker bezel
See the lower edge near the case is sharper than in a Noob (even than in a gen)

With the noob Cg fitted it makes this a true super rep for me, love mine, just need to find a noob Cg to finish off mine. I think different batches had less of a sausage dial effect on the Lume.

Would a latest noob 005N case set with cg be a worthwhile donor set?

How's the noob 005n crystal in comparison to H factory.

About to buy the set.

Thanks in advance!

The Noob PAM 005 V2 has better case, CG and crystal for sure.
But ... Is it worth ???
Up to you my friend !!!
